For the past 2 years my daughter has been obsessed with LEGO Friends, the company’s product line featuring five best friends living in Heartlake City. Before these construction kits for girls came out she had almost no interest in LEGO. You can imagine how excited she was when LEGOLAND California Resort opened up the life size LEGO Friends Heartlake City!

The half acre area features Mia’s Riding Camp, LEGOLAND California’s first carousel featuring 62 horses and two jeeps. The Heartlake Stables will keep kids busy with LEGO building activities. On warms days the heart shaped Heartlake Fountain will be the favorite spot for little ones to splash and cool off.

In the center of Heartlake City is the Friends Forever Stage where the LEGO Friends characters Emma, Mia, Olivia, Andrea and Stephanie perform “LEGO® Friends to The Rescue” five times a day. Little fans can meet the LEGO friends in between show times.

Enjoy a healthy lunch at Wok ‘N’ Bowl Ramen and grab a sweet treat at City Park Crêperie.

Shop for LEGO Friends toys and products at the Heartlake City Boutique based on the Heartlake Mall LEGO building set. Inside the center of the store is a replica of the LEGO Friends hot air balloon.
